Sails in the Desert
A mirage of iconic white sail-shaped awnings signals your arrival at this five-star outback stay, where mighty Uluṟu, Kata Tjuṯa and the Red Centre’s soul-stirring landscape serve as an unforgettable backdrop as you delve deep into Australia’s roots at Voyages Ayers Rock Resort.
Listen to stories of Aboriginal culture during a ‘Bush Yarns’ session, immerse yourself in Indigenous Dot Art at the Gallery of Central Australia, or take a guided garden walk highlighting the seasonal local flora, bush foods and trees native to the region.
Watch as darkness transforms into a bloom of soft light and colour at the renowned Field of Light Uluṟu installation by artist Bruce Munro, or escape the crowds on a desert awakening and find a secluded sand dune to watch the sun rise above Uluṟu – an unforgettable moment that will be etched in your memory for years to come.
A member of the renowned Pullman Hotels collection, this unique hotel interweaves the magic and breathtaking beauty of the outback into every aspect of its design. In between experiences, retreat from the heat with a dip in the gumtree-lined pool or linger over unique Australian flavours at one of the resort’s exceptional restaurants.
